Answer: 17 years
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics for radioactive substance is given by:

where,
k = rate constant
t = age of sample
a = let initial amount of the reactant
a - x = amount left after decay process
a) for completion of half life:
Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.


b) for 8900 g of the mass of the sample to reach 7700 grams


Thus it will take 17 years
Answer:


Explanation:
<u>Calculation of the mass of chromium as:-
</u>
Moles = 1.002 moles
Molar mass of chromium = 51.9961 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,

<u>Calculation of the mass of neon as:-
</u>
Moles =
moles
Molar mass of neon = 20.1797 g/mol
Thus,

94.20 g/3.16722 mL = 29.74 g/mL
The ratio of mass to volume is equal to the substance's density. Thus, 29.74 g/mL is the density of whatever substance it may be. Density does not change for incompressible matter like solid and some liquids. Although, it may be temperature dependent.
Answer:- 0.138 M
Solution:- The buffer pH is calculated using Handerson equation:

acts as a weak acid and
as a base which is pretty conjugate base of the weak acid we have.
The acid hase two protons(hydrogen) where as the base has only one proton. So, we could write the equation as:

Phosphoric acid gives protons in three steps. So, the above equation is the second step as the acid has only two protons and the base has one proton.
So, we will use the second pKa value. The acid concentration is given as 0.10 M and we are asked to calculate the concentration of the base to make a buffer of exactly pH 7.00.
Let's plug in the values in the equation:



Taking antilog:


On cross multiply:
[base] = 1.38(0.10)
[base] = 0.138
So, the concentration of the base that is
required to make the buffer is 0.138M.
<span>Methane, answer c, can be decomposed by chemical means because methane is a compound. Methane is made up of one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen. Compounds can be broken down. Cobalt, krypton, and zirconium are all elements, and elements cannot be chemically decomposed.</span>
